| - In RuneScape Classic, certers ran exchange stalls around RuneScape converting various items into certificates ("certs" for short) for large quantity trading. The certs were similar to the present-day bank notes, being stackable, except five items traded for one certificate. Because certs were only available from certers, many trips had to be made from the bank to the certers to exchange items for notes or notes for items, which was tedious. When RuneScape 2 was released, the certers were removed from the game and replaced with the bank note system. Existing certificates were all converted into bank notes. Niles, Giles and Miles were soon re-released as this random event, in reference to their old role as certers, but the other certers were not. In Postbag from the Hedge 35 (released 30 October 2008), Giles says: Although this suggests that this random event would have been removed, it was only modified in the Optional Randoms & Goblins update. Before the random event rework, the certer gave the player four warnings. If the player yet ignored him, he teleported the player to a random, relatively safe place and turned his inventory and equipment into bank notes. Some players considered this very annoying during Combat. After the rework, there was no longer a penalty for ignoring the certer.
